Human hair wigs offer the most natural look and feel, can be styled with heat tools. But choosing the perfect human hair wig can be very difficult if this is your first time buying this type of wig or if you don’t how to evaluate what is available in the market. There are so many options of texture, length, colour, cap, lace to choose from that you might end up very confused and even demotivated.
Below guide is recommend to you. Next time you go on a search for your new human hair wig, please don’t forget to evaluate each wig according to the criteria below:
1. Analyze The Hair Style And Colour
The first thing you need to pay attention when choosing a human hair wig is the style. Take your time to analyze the hair cutting to make sure it is done properly and is symmetrical all around. If you are choosing a colorful wig, it is important to check if the colour seems natural and evenly distributed. Even when the hair quality is good, but the cutting and dyeing of the hair are not done properly, the wig won’t look natural or glamourous after installation.
2. Pay Attention To Hair Texture
If the wig passed the test of style and colour, it is time to pay attention to its texture. Healthy human hair should be silky and soft, not too shiny or dull. It should also have a natural movement and not be “perfectly in place”, like a doll’s hair.
Avoid buying bulky hair on the top – the only reason why suppliers offer this type of wig is because it is cheaper. They use lots of shorter, cheaper, strands (bulky at the top) and fewer longer, more expensive, strands (too thin at the bottom). This type of wig won’t last very long.
What you must look for is something with a little more balance along the length of the hair. Try to look for hair density above 180% which will give you a more natural look and the hair won’t look too thin.
3. Confirm The Wig Description Info
Make sure the wig that you are buying clearly indicate that is human hair or virgin hair (Brazilian, Peruvian or Malaysian are also indication that the hair is human). When buying online, it should be on the title of the product. Don’t forget to read the description of the product to check if the supplier is mentioning that the hair can be dyed and heat-styled just as expected for any human hair. If you don’t find enough information that gives you the confidence that the wig is actually made with human hair, just don’t buy it. There are many wigs being sold as human hair and in fact are synthetic, blended (mix of synthetic and human hair) or even animal hair.
4. Choose Suitable Wig Cap
The final step is to choose your wig cap and when I mention cap, I am including the lace part of it. Wigs with no lace or lace front (middle or side part line) are the easiest to install and the least expensive. You should avoid choosing a frontal (ear-to-ear lace) wig if you don’t know how to properly install it, even if it says that they are glueless. It is true that lace frontal wigs can give you the most natural hairlines, but only if you know how to properly install them.What to do if you are in love with a frontal wig, but don’t know how to install it? Our suggestion would be for you find a hair stylist that you trust and that can assist you with the installation. The worst that can happen is for you to end up spending a lot of money and in the end not having a wig that looks natural on your head.
One good tip for bob and shorter length wigs: try to buy a wig 2 inches longer than your intended final length. Sometimes it is hard to find a wig exactly as you envisioned it and by buying a slightly longer hair, you will be able to trim the ends and customize the wig to achieve your desired look.
When buying human hair online from a brand that you haven’t bought before, it is a good idea to also check what has been posted on their social media pages. Normally, reputable hair brands would repost some of their ambassador photos and you will get a better idea of their hair style, cut and quality.
